Special Provision for Frozen

Concentrated Orange Juice Under the

North American Free Trade Agreement

Implementation Act

AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service.

ACTION: Notice of Determination of

Existence of Price Conditions Necessary

for Imposition of Temporary Duty on

Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice from

Mexico.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 309(a) of

the North American Free Trade

Agreement Implementation Act of 1993

(‘‘NAFTA Implementation Act’’), this is

a notification that for 5 consecutive

business days the daily price for frozen

concentrated orange juice was lower

than the trigger price.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Joseph Somers, Horticultural and

Tropical Products Division, Foreign

Agricultural Service, U.S. Department of

Agriculture, Washington, DC 20250–

1000 or telephone at (202) 720–2974.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

NAFTA Implementation Act authorizes

the imposition of a temporary duty

(snapback) for Mexican frozen

concentrated orange juice when certain

conditions exist. Mexican articles falling

under subheading 2009.11.00 of the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (HTS) are subject to the

snapback duty provision.

Under Section 309(a) of the NAFTA

Implementation Act, certain price

conditions must exist before the United

States can apply a snapback duty on

imports of Mexican frozen concentrated

orange juice. In addition, such imports

must exceed specified amounts before

the snapback duty can be applied. The

price conditions exist when for each

period of 5 consecutive business days

the daily price for frozen concentrated

orange juice is less than the trigger

price.

For the purpose of this provision, the

term daily price means the daily closing

price of the New York Cotton Exchange,

or any successor as determined by the

Secretary of Agriculture (the

‘‘Exchange’’), for the closest month in

which contracts for frozen concentrated

orange juice are being traded on the

Exchange. The term ‘‘business day’’

means a day in which contracts for

frozen concentrated orange juice are

being traded on the Exchange.

The term trigger price means the

average daily closing price of the

Exchange for the corresponding month

during the previous 5-year period,

excluding the year with the highest

average price for the corresponding

month and the year with the lowest

average price for the corresponding

month.

Price conditions no longer exist when

the Secretary determines that for a

period of 5 consecutive business days

the daily price for frozen concentrated

orange juice has exceeded the trigger

price. Whenever the price conditions

are determined to exist or to cease to

exist the Secretary is required to

immediately notify the Commissioner of

Customs of such determination.

Whenever the determination is that the

price conditions exist and the quantity

of Mexican articles of frozen

concentrated orange juice entered

exceeds (1) 264,978,000 liter (single

strength equivalent) in any of calendar

years 1994 through 2002, or (2)

340,560,000 liters (single strength

equivalent) in any of calendar years

2003 through 2007, the rate of duty on

Mexican articles of frozen concentrated

orange juice that are entered after the

date on which the applicable quantity

limitation is reached and before the date

of publication in the Federal Register of

the determination that the price

conditions have ceased to exist shall be

the lower of—(1) the column 1—General

rate of duty in effect for such articles on

July 1, 1991; or (2) the column 1—

General rate of duty in effect on that

day. For the purpose of this provision,

the term ‘‘entered’’ means entered or

withdrawn from warehouse for

consumption in the customs territory of

the United States.

In accordance with Section 309(a) of

the NAFTA Implementation Act, it has

been determined that for the period June

2–8, the daily for frozen concentrated

orange juice was less than the trigger

price.

Issued at Washington, D.C. the 12th day of

June, 1998.

Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service.
